Content-Aware Renderers

This directory contains the content-aware rendering system for LinkContentPreview. It allows for special rendering of different types of links based on their URL patterns.

Architecture

The system consists of:

  1. Types (types.ts): Defines the ContentRenderer interface
  2. Registry (registry.ts): Manages registration and retrieval of renderers
  3. Individual Renderers: Each renderer handles a specific type of content

Creating a New Renderer

To add support for a new website or content type:

  1. Create a new file (e.g., MyWebsiteRenderer.tsx)
  2. Implement the ContentRenderer interface:
typescript
import { ContentRenderer } from "./types";
import { BookmarkTypes, ZBookmark } from "@karakeep/shared/types/bookmarks";
import { MyIcon } from "lucide-react";

function canRenderMyWebsite(bookmark: ZBookmark): boolean {
  if (bookmark.content.type !== BookmarkTypes.LINK) {
    return false;
  }

  // Add your URL pattern matching logic here
  return bookmark.content.url.includes("mywebsite.com");
}

function MyWebsiteRendererComponent({ bookmark }: { bookmark: ZBookmark }) {
  // Your custom rendering logic here
  return <div>Custom content for MyWebsite</div>;
}

export const myWebsiteRenderer: ContentRenderer = {
  id: "mywebsite",
  name: "My Website",
  icon: MyIcon,
  canRender: canRenderMyWebsite,
  component: MyWebsiteRendererComponent,
  priority: 10, // Higher priority = appears first in dropdown
};
  1. Register your renderer in index.ts:
typescript
import { myWebsiteRenderer } from "./MyWebsiteRenderer";

contentRendererRegistry.register(myWebsiteRenderer);
